(Jade pov)

"No" I bopped Daniel with a rolled up issue of game former. "Keep your grubby fingers off the cake. Its desert, dont spoil dinner for yourself," I dropped the magazine on the counter and went to the stove, taking one of the pots off.

"What's for dinner?" Eliezer (yes..) asked, walking in with my cousin and their other friend Alex.  I smiled at Eliezer, but wiped it away quickly.

"Uh, food," I announced dismissively.  I could practically hear Jason's eyes roll. I regarded them as they retreated to the island and started chatting. Dan looked like he was teasing Eliezer, Alex and Jason seemed very amused as Eliezer blushed at the black granite. I pulled the pots and pans and finished it off, then I quickly made my own plate. Walking to the dinning room, I called dinner and the boys swarmed the counter.

"Is that cake ready?" Dan asked, his face pleading as he leaned across the table towards me.

"pfft. Not no more. You can have it tomorrow," I told him, leaning back in the chair. His face fell and he leaned back.

"That's ohkay, its time for us to be heading anyway. Dont give me that look Alex it's your own fault that you have to be back by ten. I'm not the one who put the frog in your moms bath tub!" Eliezer frowned disapprovingly at Alex, who gave him a pointed look before standing up. Dan and eliezer followed suit and they trouped off with final good byes and good nights. I stood up with a stretch, collected the plates quickly, and walked into the kitchen, dropping them into the sink and running the water.

"Need help?" Jason asked, I looked behind me in suprised. I arched an eyebrow at him, suspicion creeping through my features. He smiled, the mischevious smile I've learned to distrust when directed at me.

"You? Offering help with the dishes?" i gasped, feigning shock. He rolled his eyes, his favorite counter to my sarcasm. Lame, but a counter none the less.

"Please, why would I ever offer to lend a hand to my closest cousin, especially when she just made an awesome dinner for my friends and I?" I snorted a stiffled laugh and turned back to the plates, scrubbing them clean. Jason walked up next to me and began towel drying them, then setting them down on a second towel to air dry any missed spots.

"Ohkay, seriously, why?" I finally asked after a minute of silence.

"Do you like eth- er eliezer?" he asked, looking at me a scrutinizing eyes. I gave him a genuinely shocked look, why did he ask? Is it really that noticeable? Ohkay, breathe. Stay calm, this doesn't necessarily mean he knows. Maybe he's really just curious. Then again, this is Jason, hardly anything slips past his sharp green eyes...

Jade's green eyes widened in shock, and she regarded me with a startled expression .

"what do you mean?" her expression softened into her default mask. I examined her closely. Usually her eyes sell what she's thinking but now, they were blank.

"Eliezer, do you like him?" I asked slowly, keeping her eyes.

"Of course,  hes one of the less annoying of your group," she raised her chin defensively.

"I see..." I gave her a knowing smile, and her resolve faltered. She sputtered for a second before she closed. Her eyes hardened into the green of an emerald block, and her jaw set in determination.

Frick.  No, I need to fix this befo-

"Good night Jason. Don't stay up too late, Auntie will be mad if she has to drag you out of bed again," she told me in a flat tone, and walked out of my sight, her back ram-rod straight. A defensive tic that only shows when shes more than aggravated.

Crap. I'm sorry Etho, but at least we know she does.

I waited in the kitchen for a few more  minutes before flipping off the overhead light and trudging up the stairs. I turned into my bedroom, and heard an excited squeal from Jade's room before i shut my door. Could've sworn she said something about an upload. eh probably just another pokemon hack. She's always spamming her old computer with those creepypasta things. I dropped into bed, clicking off the lamp.
